Help a Windows newb

Post by Pip »

Hi All,

Im a complete Windows newbie, as I have been a Mac user for 30 years.

I run UMS on my Mac to stream movies on my PS4.

I now have a PC laptop running windows 11 home. How do I access UMS from my laptop?

Many thanks,
Pip

So I'm assuming you are still running UMS on the Mac and want to access to it from your laptop, not running UMS on the windows laptop.

Just enter the Mac's IP address in to your web browser with port 9001, or 9002 for just the web player. It should look like 192.168.x.x:9001

You could also stream to VLC and I think windows media player. I don't use either of them so not exactly sure how to access UMS though them. I think it is in the playlists section in VLC.
